Seth's PovWe got to her apartment and I was really amazed. I gushed, unable to contain my real admiration for the exquisite interior decoration, "Wow, your place is amazing."Kassandra grinned in appreciation of my response. "I'm grateful, Seth. I gave making a warm and inviting space a lot of thought.I cast a quick glance around, observing the tastefully decorated rooms and neatly selected furniture. "I am aware. It's incredibly trendy and hospitable. You have a wonderful eye for design.She spoke with a hint of pride and smiled. "I've always enjoyed creating aesthetically pleasing yet comforting homes. It resembles my personal retreat.I smiled and nodded, enjoying the ambiance of the venue. "There's no doubt that this seems like a haven. a location where you can unwind and rest.I was signaled by Kassandra to have a seat on the cozy couch. Make yourself at home, please. Would you like something to drink, please? Perhaps some wine?"I sat down on the comfortable couch and sank int
~Seth’s Pov~I felt relieved to see the familiar faces as Lotus entered the room. One of the mansion's maids was standing next to Lotus, her face a mixture of resolve and worry. I was left wondering why she went with Lotus rather than Damon, whose presence I had grown accustomed to."Lotus!" I yelled as a wave of relief overcame me upon seeing her. However, a burning question that had been on my thoughts ever since her unannounced arrival forced itself into my consciousness.“Seth, are you okay?” Lotus asked in a concerned tone. “What did she do to you?” "How did you find me?" I asked. My voice was mixed with thanks and curiosity as I queried.Lotus looked at me with a wry smirk on her lips. Seth, I'll tell you everything about it later. However, let's just say I had some assistance from someone you know," she said, her tone suggesting a secret."Amelia?" My gaze shifted to the maid who had followed Lotus on this risky rescue expedition as I questioned. I was intrigued by her prese
Seth’s PovLotus and I exchanged glances, our eyes brimming with determination and concern. We couldn't help but feel a sense of dread as we said goodbye to Kassandra, knowing the risks she'd face on her own. We had no choice but to press on and complete our mission.The dimly lighted trail led us through a succession of subterranean tunnels beneath the estate as we followed the secret channel. The air felt stale, and there was a subtle odor of wetness. Our footsteps echoed softly, creating an unearthly atmosphere."Amelia, you mentioned earlier that you knew who the mastermind is," Lotus said, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. Please inform us. We need to know who our opponents are."Amelia paused for a while, her face filled with a mix of melancholy and determination. "I can't keep it a secret from you any longer." Damon is the mastermind."I exclaimed, a wave of astonishment and treachery washing over me. "Damon? But he's my most trusted ally and confidant."Amelia gave a sad n
~Seth’s Pov~"Welcome, sir," Damon greeted with a polite tone. "I thought you weren't coming tonight."Ignoring his pleasantries, I led Damon into my study room, my expression a mix of amazement and anger. The room provided a sense of privacy, allowing us to have a conversation without interruption.As we settled in, I took a seat and fixed my gaze directly on Damon, his curiosity evident in his eyes. The weight of suspicion hung heavy in the air, leaving him wondering why I had called him in for a discussion."Is everything alright, sir?" Damon inquired, his voice laced with genuine concern. His demeanor conveyed a mix of anticipation and confusion, awaiting my next words.Silently, I continued to study his face, searching for any signs of deceit or hidden motives. The tension in the room grew palpable as the silence lingered, each passing moment fueling my growing suspicion."Why are you staring at me like that, sir?" Damon's voice held a note of confusion. "Is everything alright?
Seth's PovDamon, you are nothing but a traitor. I firmly declared, "Today, I will put an end to your reign of terror and defend those you have injured. You thought you could attack innocent people and get away with it.Damon scoffed, his haughtiness audible in his tone. "Seth, are you really thinking you can defeat me? You believe that you can stop me?Damon, stop talking. I said, determination blazing in my eyes, "It's time to finally put an end to this.Suddenly, Damon's assurance slipped, and he lurched, obviously shaken. He asked me, "What have you done to me, Seth?" with confusion in his voice.I showed my trump card with a wicked smirk on my face. "Yes, I used a needle you were unaware I had when we were battling to inject you with a lethal poison. Any vampire can be killed by it. I took it out of the drawer next to my desk for study. You didn't know it was there, did you?As I persisted in confronting Damon, his cries for mercy were unanswered. Damon, yeah, I see. You can
*Lotus POV*I stood at the back of the stage, gripping tightly to the hem of my dress, my whole body shook with fear of the unknown, I watched other girls being auctioned and each time someone buys them, my heart tightened with fear knowing it'll soon get to my turn and I'll have to be sold off to one of these monsters.We, humans, have been enslaved by these monsters called vampires, slowly, they're taking over our world and we humans are starting to go extinct, we're being used as a blood bank for the vampires and I've watched many die by their hands and one of those people are my parents.I was only five when our village was attacked by the vampires and I lost both my parents in that attack, ever since then, I and many people were taken by them and turned into their slaves, our blood has been drained several times and I wonder why we're all still alive.Each day I watch and see how merciless they are towards us humans, and my hatred for them only grows the more, I curse them secretl
*Lotus POV*As soon as I got into the car, I noticed Seth covering his nose. I tried to ignore it and sat as far away from him as possible, hoping to avoid any contact.From the corner of my eye, I could see him still covering his nose. There were two possible reasons for this: either I smelled bad or my blood was causing an issue for him. Vampires have a hard time controlling themselves around me due to the scent of my blood.Seth didn't say anything throughout the ride to his home, and he didn't even spare me a glance. I wished I wasn't there in the car with him.Finally, the car came to a stop, and I stepped out to see a magnificent and ancient house with royal guards everywhere. Seth walked in, and I trailed behind him with fear of him turning around and pouncing on me.As we entered the house, I was so amazed by the beauty of the place that I accidentally bumped into Seth. It felt like my face had hit a rock."Ouch," I hissed as I stepped back.Seth turned to look at me, his expre
*Lotus POV*As the maid spoke, I felt a knot form in my stomach. The thought of sitting at the same table as Seth, the powerful vampire who had bought me as a slave, filled me with dread. I was scared of what he might do or say, and my mind raced with various worst-case scenarios."He has something special planned for tonight," the maid said, a hint of mystery in her voice.I felt a mix of fear and curiosity as I wondered what this dinner was for. "What is it?" I asked tentatively."It's a surprise," She replied with a small smile. "But he wants you to dress appropriately for the occasion."Looking down at my clothes, I knew I wasn't dressed for such an occasion. I hadn't showered since my arrival, and I had no fancy clothes to wear. "I don't have anything appropriate to wear," I said, feeling a bit embarrassed."That's not a problem," She said reassuringly. "Arrangements have already been made.""Miss, please come with us. We have prepared some dinner outfits for you," said one of the
